Our #slothbear, Kartik, is climbing to new heights! This swanky new climbing set up was built with 80% recycled materials that were repurposed right here from the Zoo. As you can see, Kartik wasted no time in showing off his climbing skills by exploring his new treehouse!
But first...let me take a shell-fie 🐢 Today we celebrate 92 years of Galapagos tortoise Mommy at Philadelphia Zoo! Mommy arrived here on this date in 1932 and is estimated to be 99-years-old (and still picture perfect 💕).
It was check-up time for some of our white-nosed coati kits, born a few weeks ago to coati Rita! Each had a physical exam, weigh-in, and some vaccines from our veterinary team. All the little ones appeared well! Learn more about these momentous births: brevardzoo.org/news/welcoming…

Happy #TongueOutTuesday! 👅🐯 #DidYouKnow that a tiger’s tongue is covered in small, sharp hooks called papillae? Papillae can serve as a comb, helping in detangling & removing dirt from fur. It can also help strip feathers, fur & meat from prey. #funfacts
Koraline loves a good shell scratch! 🐢😃 Although less sensitive than their skin, turtles and tortoises actually have nerve endings in their shells and can feel when being touched!

It's amazing how fast some baby animals grow up! The Sichuan takin kid is already jumping on and off of things and playing with his herdmates. Despite their large size and slow movement, Sichuan takin are adept climbers, an important skill for their native, mountainous habitat.

Our #AfricanPenguin breeding pairs have laid eggs!🥚😮 So, what's next? Candling! Our staff have weekly "candling" sessions, where a concentrated beam of light is shone into the egg. The light allows our team to determine if the egg is fertile + monitor the chick's development.
